What
Type of Education Do Chiropractors Receive? ::
Government
inquiries have affirmed that today's chiropractic academic training
is of equivalent standard to medical training in all preclinical
subjects. Chiropractic education includes special emphasis on
anatomy, physiology, neurology, orthopedics, pathology, biomechanics,
radiology, nutrition, and spinal manipulation. Four years of postgraduate
study and completion of an internship are required, followed by
National and State Board examinations, before entering practice.
Continuing postdoctoral education is also required to maintain
current licensure and keep abreast of the current scientific literature.
